Derbyshire Greenlaners

[DerbysRed]

That's like saying Marlon Brando got fat and stopped doing good films in his later years. While it is true, it didn't stop him being the daddy.

I’m not disputing that Tim is the 'daddy' of greenlaning but alas he has moved on.
In Tim's absence we also have to move on.

I understand that we don't all have the experience of organising days like Tim but it would be nice to try without fear of retribution because we're not doing it right or whether our suggested days flop! Everyone does things differently! :eek:

Respect to Tim because he is the 'daddy' but Tim please give us chance to organsie things our way! ;)

[adafish]

so.....whats the craic then...?;)

[Widget]

Evenin' all. Sorry to crash the party and all that, but I do have a free weekend 17th/18th. Happy to troop off into the wilds if anyone's willing to follow as always.

I know I probably do tend to stick my nose in a bit too much which I am sorry for, but, what happened to Bigkid, he copied all my info and then disappeared:confused:

I promise I will never organise another days greenlaning in the Peak District, but any advice gladly given so it can move on. It is a bit potty me doing stuff for Derbyshire when I live in Pembrokeshire.

Now, mid Wales, June, anyone up for it? And don't forget, mid Wales from here is about the same distance as mid Wales is from Derby before you lot start moaning:eek:

cheers, Tim

[Laninlandy]

Depends on dates Tim .

Derbysred , when you have sorted a route can you post it up or mail it please .

Greenlaning - Peak District

Saturday 24th March 2007.

Attendees so far:

ada
laninlandy
derbysred

Jeff, mungo, widget, Scott???

ada as requested that we do Stanage. I've haven't done stanage either so would also be keen. Any preferences about the direction that we do it (up or down)?

I propose that we meet at the Greenbus on the A6 between ambergate and whatstandwell at 8.30 for a 9.00 start. I will put together a route over the next week or so and post grids and mem-map overlay for all.

Anyone else interested?

[Widget]

Put me down as a definite maybe:) :)

Stanage is easier coming down, so would perhaps do south to north across Burbage moor from the Fox pub to Lady Cannings Plantation - then Stanage from west to east.

If it's fun you can always turn around and go up it again!!

[Widget]

Just emailed you a Memory Map route we planned for New Year Chris. Might be useful?

[jeff]

[Laninlandy]

I would advise a quick recce of stanage before it is driven . Mainly because mountain rescue use it for training with ropes and abseil rescues etc .I'm pretty sure the last thing they need is a gaggle of landrovers getting in the way , fair enough it's a legal green lane but i'd rather leave them to it and stay out of the way .
There is a road that runs below it , have a quick looksie and see who is up there .
Road runs from SK 226 843 sw to SK 245 828 .That road covers the length of most of the rocky section on stanage which will take the longest to get through,from the road you can get a good idea how busy it is up there.There isn't a great deal of room on that part of the lane , even less if it's got mountain rescue training on it .
If it's decided it's too busy ,it doesn't matter there is lots of other good lanes around that area .

[adafish]

i could be strugglin a bit there chris......old friends revial the night before;) ......let ya know...:rolleyes:

Great minds.....

Had a quick recce of Stanage Edge on Saturday morning. The lane is busy but passable with a couple of tricky steps in the middle. Plenty of Hikers, Moutain Bikers and crossers all enjoying and sharing the experience.

Even picked up some bits of motors littered around (bumpers, mudgauards and various other 4x4 rubbish) and bought it back with me. Must be getting all responsible in my old age!

You driven it before?

[Laninlandy]

Only once, about 18 months ago and going down it .

[Laninlandy]

I don't like being cold , warm and nice and snug is how i like it .
The times i went cold , very very cold , soaked to the skin in sub zero conditions from lieing in the snow whilst i was in the army .
The day i left i said to myself i would never go pointlessly cold ever again .
Now i'm a cold **** , even the slightest breeze with a chill to it and i've got my rugs on :D :D

08:30 for a 09:00 start!

Would anybody else like to join us? PM Me!

See you on Saturday :D

[Laninlandy]

At the moment i'm with a bouncy truck .
On the way home from work this morning i went over a speed bump with probably a bit too much haste and my rear o/s damper has sheared off the nut and thrown my bushes ,caps and nut away , also knackering the thread on the damper .
I'm going to get in touch with my local specialist and shb 4x4 hire and see if they have cappings and bushes , i've got a spare damper in the shed but without cappings and lower bushes :D
I'd even get a new damper for the price they are .
Worst case scenario is they have no parts and i can't go laning , unless some of you that are going have some spare cappings and bushes and i can bounce to the green bus and then get a damper fitted .
Does anyone know what size the top and bottom damper nuts are ?

I'll keep you updated as the hours go by :rolleyes:

[Laninlandy]

Can't get relevant parts til monday :rolleyes: .
Got him to get me one in , doubtful i can make it .Even with the truck bouncing around oi reckon the A38 will be a bit dangerous .Got no other option but to use the A38 .
See if i can sort something this afternoon .

[timbott]

[Laninlandy]

I,m out .Got home from work at 6am and spent about 4 hours trying to get hold of something to sort the damper out :( .
Woke up about 6 pm and left with a message that Derbysred would go to paddocks for me to get a part if i need it , at 6pm it's too late , damn !(my fault)
Left you a message on your phone Chris ;)
Thanks for the offer , very much appreciated , just unlucky i didn't get it til Paddocks are closed :rolleyes:
Would have only took 10 mins to fit a new damper . :(
Ah well , have a good time and enjoy Stanage .
Sort another in a couple of weeks ;)

You wouldn't bet on it would you ! One week today i got an MOT and it's thrown a damper off :D :D
Ah well get a nice new shiny one for a tenner on monday :rolleyes:

[timbott]

[Laninlandy]

Don't look left and down when the edge of your n/s tyre is inches from a 200ft drop :D :D
Seriously you will love it , looks harder than it actually is ;)

Do it again if you like .


Have to have a look at the bounty thread Tim and see what's what .

[alclark]

I would have come tomorrow but I am tied up with other things and also getting to the other side of Matlock for before 9 is a pain, after all in february I was late to Beeley. May be next time, especially if the meet is a little nearer the middle of the PD.

Stanage is fun, I did it in October and was a little concerned about how close my fuel tank (no after market guard on it) was getting to some of the rocks. One of the problems of 205s on a 90.

[Laninlandy]

You shouldn't need any waffles on stanage with they tyres and lifts you lot have got .
I had some shoved under me when i did it , i was on 205's and road tyres though :D .With the tyres and lift they have given me (tyre diameter over 205's)then i wouldn't expect to need them .
I'm still toying with the idea of running upto paddocks , they open at 08:30 and meeting up on one of the lanes .
I'm convincing myself it's not worth the risk of boucing down the A38 and country lanes , bloody thing is all over the place :D
Have fun .
:p

My first wife did that ...orrible innit:(

[DerbysRed]

Just got back from a great days laning the highlight being Stanage :eek:.

We all managed it sucessfully with only a bent steering rod and a couple of missplaced springs.

Just the three of us in the end, ADA, Matt and me. (Hope you got home ok widget!)

Didn't take many pics but will post them later.

So when we goin again? LaninLandy???

[Widget]

Gutted. Spent an hour or so at DLS. Paul put it up on a ramp, ran it to 50 mph and we had a listen and a look. There are a few things wrong, a worn wheelbearing on the nearside front, a wobbly UJ and a noisy front diff. Take your pick!

The wheel bearing is biggest suspect, spending the night with brother in Sheffield now and back tomorrow at a very slow pace.

Even though I couldn't lane today, thanks for the open invite Chris - nice to meet you at last. There will always be a next time, and as said - I'll travel miles to go laning!

[adafish]

i've just got in....honest...had to go and colLect a horse trailer that we have had to hire, got there and the farmers only builds and trials LANDYS...he's of to STAINBY in the morning...Anyhow, great day, and well done Chris...some great lanes and theres so many to do..Stanage was a eye opener, and kept the walkers entertained, aswell as some "bloke" taking photo's of us for his "CLIMBING MAGAZINE" feature...at the bottom of Stanage we had to straighten Chris's steering bar with a racket ctrap and a tug from Betty, and pop back his and matty's springs....once again cheers Chris aways a good day out with ya laning....you can ave an XTRA burger at the Treasure hunt...jon, you were missed and hope ya get ya probs sorted soon and see ya at SODBURY...ADA

Im interigued :D......Whats the terain like? which way do you drive it l-r or r-l? whats lane is it comparable too in Derbys? ;)

[doobreydog]

From what I can make out through various forums chaple gate is not a legal route anymore but the wardens in the area are encouraging people to drive it to keep it is a usable condition as status is soon to be changed....have not driven it for years myself but from piccies it looks worse than stannage now so would not advise a solo attempt ....if you can wait till folowing weekend Ill be in that area and can join you...If not was always easiest heading NE

The other one tom moor-beet farm is known as roych clough (thought you did that on one of the other trips I was on ...probably me loosing it) Couple of reasonable steps and a decent slope made from flat rock slabs (SK 076 834) which can be a bit tricky in wet....Head NW anytime or SE when wet at east that way you will know how slippy the rock slabs are at the bottom & not from the top:eek:

The other one tom moor-beet farm is known as roych clough (thought you did that on one of the other trips I was on ...probably me loosing it) Couple of reasonable steps and a decent slope made from flat rock slabs (SK 076 834) which can be a bit tricky in wet....Head NW anytime or SE when wet at east that way you will know how slippy the rock slabs are at the bottom & not from the top:eek:

Are you saying that Derbyshire CC are going to make Chapelgate legal to drive? From what I saw last summer it is as bad as Stannage - and it is TOO narrow for D3's :(

[doobreydog]

What Im lead to believe...heres some piccies of it recently and will try and get more details (rumours):) http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=41063

[DerbysRed]

Cheers for the feedback, links and photos....much apprecaited. :D

Think I'll walk the dog up both tracks pre-attempts , all thoughlooking at Chapel Gate ithink i'll probabley give it a miss all together!!! :eek:

Anyone else up this way over the weekend?

Chapel gate is most certainly a lane that you would want to walk first , never done it but seen pictures of plenty of vehiles that have and suffered a bit .
Hung up on diffs , grounding out etc etc etc .

Roych clough is a good one ,cracking lane that , shame about all the damn gates .:D
Easily doable on your own , done it loads of times on my own whenever my missus and the halfling have camped up that way .

[DerbysRed]

From what I can make out through various forums chaple gate is not a legal route anymore but the wardens in the area..

Who and where are these wardens based? Is there someone I can contact to check?? Is it the Highways Officer or similar? Anyone got a name & number?

Would we get a Disco3 down the Roych with AT tyres?

[Laninlandy]

Should do , there ain't no mud , it's just steps and stones on a slope :D
Two little mini fords at the bottom .
It's a reet good trundle , but i will bet by the end of it you will never want to see another gate ;)

You can borrow my missus , she loves opening and closing gates .I can tell by the way she curses under her breath , slams the door and scowls at me whilst i drive through laughing ..

Chapel Gate - cracking lane:) Got a bit hung up there, nothing too dreadful though.

[DerbysRed]

Nice pics!

What happened in Pic 3?

[Widget]

Pic 3 and 4 are the same I think. As the truck started to climb onto the tarmac the back wheel dropped off the ridge and landed on the diff. No damage done, just bunged a waffle under the tyre and drove it off.

[DerbysRed]

Anyone know of any open, decent lanes in the Ashbourne, Hartington, Manifold Valley area?

[Laninlandy]

Not much at all Manifold valley way , there is a couple around ashbournish way and up towards Buxton .None that we have never done before . The only one i can think of up near buxton is old maccesfield road , the one across the golf course :D and of course those dotted around hollinsclough .
Manifold valley looks like it has loads of stuff when you look on the map but they are all cycle routes .
The routes around Hartington are more less perfectly flat and covered in the horrible dusty hardcore surface .
The best areas without going too far seem to be around Matlock,Bakewell,and moving across to Tideswell and Buxton .
Plenty of pubs to choose from to :D :D

I never tire of doing the ones we have done before anyway, they are always good . ;)

I'm upgraded from a probably not to a maybe for the 19th .

its pushin it a bit for me.....need to be in SWADINLCOTE for 2.15, workin..:(

[DerbysRed]

come along for a couple of hours, we could do the Chapel Gate and Roych Clough lanes early'ish :eek: ,

then you could do one and get back to Swad! :D

What do you reckon?

[adafish]

its an Idea...me lets ya know..;)

[Widget]

Could meet at Mam Tor to get straight onto Chapel Gate and Roych Clough? I also have a hankering to do Tenterhill (SK 0524 6738). Technical ;) , but non-damaging with care.:)

[DerbysRed]

im up for that?

BI5EEL, others? wat do you reckon to changing the start point to Mam Tor?

Do the northern peak routes, Chapel Gate, Roych Clough, Tenterhill, Stanage etc?

[Laninlandy]

If I go , I would rather have walked chapel gate first .Seen lots of pics of lots of damage and trucks slipping down sideways after grounding out on those tarmac mounds .
Rather know what i'm up against rather than doing it blind as it where .

[Laninlandy]

Chapel gate wants checking out with the ROW dept anyway .It's marked on 1:50 000 as a Bridleway .Even if it did have legal Vehicle access before the NERC bill it probably hasn't now .Being a green lane and a bridleway the nerc bill has it as dual status , vehicles lose the right of use .

Roych wants checking out too. As much as love it I ain't convinced of the legallity of that lane:rolleyes:

cheers, Tim

[Laninlandy]

I have it down on a 1:50 000 as an ORPA , but it does form part of the peninne bridleway .IIRC there is a sign at the Mam tor side of roych that say's it's a bridleway , so again it does ,as you say bring the legality of driving it into question.
I'll phone the head honcho on Friday and see if he has his thumb out of his backside this time . :D

[Widget]

Chapel Gate has very strong evidence in it's favour - i.e. the tarmac strip up the centre is a bit of a pointer that it is a road which primary use was for MPVs. A walk first is a very good idea to plan ahead.

I'm not aware of any restriction on Roych Clough, it's a well established road.

Neither road is part of the long distance path - Pennine Way. Finger posts are no indication to the status of a road, just pure obfuscation for the benefit of no-one.:D

Hmmm, all of Chapel Gate and half of Roych is marked as a bridleway on my maps:rolleyes:

[Widget]

Ignoring the Mount Famine end and entering from Beet Farm - Roych Clough is all ORPA afaik. True Chapel Gate is marked on OS as a Bridleway, but has always been incorrectly marked, even pre-NERC.

I have both Chapel gate and Roych marked up as ORPA's on me 1:25K OL1 map!

Have you still got a copy of the "get out of jail free" email from them stating that OS maps were more upto date than their maps????

Could you send me a copy!

[Laninlandy]

Then you have to prove it's incorrectly marked and how do you do that ?
Take Bakewell ford for example , now closed to vehicles , how is that possible ? Clearly it is an old cart track through the river .On the map it shows as a bridleway , the council have ruled it is closed to vehicles and should have been for some time .
How can you prove any different ? Will people listen anyway ?
The PDNPA will probably be looking at lane usage quite closely in the near future with being given the powers to TRO or permanently close a lane .
If they see you on chapel gate and they look on a map and it shows as a bridleway as it does , you are going to court !
Then you have to prove it's incorrectly marked . Better to phone the ROW bloke and get clarification before using it again .
Same with roych , get the all clear and go for it .
There are other lanes in the peaks that are clearly marked roads , these are RUPPS and they are now closed because of the Nerc bill .
I'd rather have any lanes that we are unsure of checked for legality , for one i don't want to end up in court over it and two worst case scenario i don't want to lose my vehicle :eek: .

[qzdcg8]

Did Roych clough at the weekend, found it easy going in the 90 :D but my mate with the Disco3 was having none of it! :rolleyes:What do you mean? Could he not get it up (or down) because he got stuck? Or did he bottle it? I've done it 3 times in my D3 on road tyres in the last 9 months and I do think it is getting worse.

I have got some Cooper ST's now so next time I expect it to be a breeze.

[Laninlandy]

Look at the date on your map Drbys when it was printed .
Mine where printed 2004 , shows chapel gate as a bridleway , roych as an orpa .
Wayfinder has chapelgate as a bridleway .
I'll email the row dept with the grids for chapelgate and try to get an answer .:D :D

Had a very good chat with Peter from Derbyshire C.C.

Hopefuly he will provide us with their official response to the staus of the Roych and Chapel Gate lanes in an email which i can post on here.

Hes checking it out with his legal team, so fingers crossed!

[Laninlandy]

I emailed them yesterday but still no reply .Lets hope you have better luck.

[DerbysRed]

Hi Guys

Here are rights of way details for Chapel Gate and Roych Clough.


"The Chapelgate track is recorded as a Byway Open to All Traffic (BOAT) on the definitive map of public rights of way for Derbyshire. As such it can be used by the public with vehicles as well as by walkers, horseriders and cyclists; however, as I explained in our telephone conversation, the route is severely damaged at the moment making access for certain types of user difficult."

"The majority of Roych Road is recorded on the County Council’s highway records as a non-classified highway (often termed by other authorities as unclassified county road or UCR), the exception being the northern end near Hayfield which is a public bridleway. I can’t confirm the existence of public vehicular rights over the ’non-bridleway’ section of Roych Road because these categories do not point to any particular highway status."


Thank you Peter for your help! :D

[Laninlandy]

That's better info and confirmed info from the head honcho :D .

So both OS maps are wrong with chapelgate:rolleyes:

[timbott]

So both OS maps are wrong with chapelgate:rolleyes:

It goes show that you can't really trust the OS maps with regards to rights of way. It does say on OS maps though:

The representation on this map of any other road, track or path is no eveidence of the existence of a right of way

so they do have themselves covered, although in this case they appear to have downgraded a track:rolleyes:

cheers, Tim

[Widget]

"The Chapelgate track ... is severely damaged at the moment.."


Should read severly neglected?;)

[DerbysRed]

Me and Defender Bill did a few lanes today around, Bonsall, Newhaven, Over-Haddon, Edesnor and Rowsley.

So who is up for some more of same on the 19th May?

[DefenderBill]

Thanks for the ride out :D on Mon DerbysRed, enjoyed v.much,:) . Can't make 19th though,:( . Due to work and Son's rallying may have to be end June before I'm out again. Cheers.

Also many thanks to Doobreydog for a superb day out on Sat.,:D :D :D :D .

Unfortunatley I may after pull out of Saturdays drive in the Peak. :(

Have developed a very scary, intermittent and agresssive vibration on the front wheels :eek:. Thought initially it was the steering damper and changed it over the weekend which appeared to fix it bit alas on the way home yesterday it returned.

I am going to get the front wheels balanced again today to see if that fixes it!

[Widget]

I still haven't got the vibration cured on mine. Last week it came back with a vengence after laning in Wales - so I provoked it and now it vibrates all the time. Then they said it's your tyres - so I put the BFG AT's back on and it still vibrates.

It's at the Landy Doctors today...fingers crossed.

[Laninlandy]

Try your Panhard rod bushes and check your track rods ends out for any wear .
I had a nasty wobble like that some time back and after replacing the panhard rod bushes a TRE and my steering damper the problem dissapeared .All 3 items were worn .
Considering you were organising it Chris then it's probably off then .:D
****** it I'll leave Landrover playing til after my holiday .
Get something sorted for sometime in June .

Track Rod ends are fine, replaced them recentley with steering and track bars. Replaced damper at weekend, which seamed to cure it but just before i got home (after a two hour journey) i had a minor vibration, nothing as serious as before but a vibration all the same.

As for it being off, will have to see if i can fix it before now and Saturday...Got a bit of time to do the repairs

The recon turret sounds good to me .

When it's sorted I'll be ready for any laning in July and August .

[DerbysRed]

Turret? you bolted on a gun position?

I haven't been to one this year now I live away from Derbyshire so I don't know about recent attendance, but the quarry that the club uses has a bit of everything in terms of driving ability from a gentle meander to stuff (The Mountain) that even as a passenger scares the wotsits off me:eek:

It's only a small quarry, but there's plenty to go at for all motors. Nothing too silly. Unlike some play-days I've attended, the BADLRC ones don't attract idiots in scrapper suzukis hammering around causing chaos, thankfully. BADLRC are an MSA affiliated club or whatever it is, so pratting around isn't the dish of the day.

It's just a bit of a family day out really, run by local enthusiasts. Fully marshalled (by more than a few members of this forum) and attendance is dependant on the weather. They're the biggest events on the BADLRC calendar, so most of the club members do the marshalling and will be out there camping in the field alongside whatever the weather cos they're obviously all mad.

So yeah, if you see my tent, give us a shout and say hi :D

wicked.....:D..

[adafish]

just some of the Hot Air balloon rides that were going up in the pub grounds...and a group shot up in the peaks..

[Laninlandy]

New shoes again Chris ?

I'll take it you didn't like the Kumho's ...I thought they looked ok .
Mind you they did clog up a bit last time I was out with you .

[DerbysRed]

Yep - new shoes!
Loved the Kumhos but alas they were a little bit small....
The BFG's are 33" and fill the landies wheel arches....The Kumho's 31" looked a little lost with the 2" lift.
Am considering selling the 6 month old BFG's now that Kumho have some 33" in the UK.

Hows you? When we out again?

[Laninlandy]

I'm alright mate , still got the landy , lost interest in selling it at the moment :D
Probably end up keeping it for a bit longer .
I'd be up for a day out in the future ..

[adafish]

how VERY DARE YOU.....go out with some one else Chris.ya biatch..:D

[Laninlandy]

You on 16 inch now Chris ?

Might be interested in those Muds if they are 16's .

[DerbysRed]

nah mate there on 15"....

Can come to a deal if you want black mods with em?

[Laninlandy]

Thanks for the offer , I'll stick with the 16's .

Shame really I,m at some point going to prep my grey mods up to be sprayed black , would have save me a job :D

[DerbysRed]

Thinking of spending on the Landy again are we? :eek:

YOU know you wanna keep it! ;) :D

[Laninlandy]

It's getting to the point it needs new shoes , my muds have been on two and a half years , the tread is still well into being legal but for offroad use there ain't much left .
The modulars have had the grey paint chipped off them here and there so could do with a spruce up , and I fancy changing them to black .

Been looking at 110 county double cab pickups of the TD5 variety ..
Found a good one not long back but is was miles and miles away .
